I'm a 20 yearold college student. I am incredibley shy. I maybe talk to 6 or 7 people at school, and that's it. I don't have any close friends (don't do anything outside of school with anyone). Because of this and my lack of friends, I have basically no self-confidence in social situations. I always feel awkward when I talk to people, and there are always many awkward pauses in the conversation. Personally I don't see why anyone would want to talk to me, so I tend to be very quiet among people I don't know very very well. I know that to get confidence I need to "dive in head first," but where do I start? I can't just have a conversation, or join in a discussion without getting very nervous (I start to sweat) and feeling awkward.
